MIRRORS, Electronic and Mechanical

ELECTRONIC MIRRORS

Jim Campbell, 1999 - present

Motion and Rest 5 of 6 (2001)  Total Running Time: 42 seconds 
from Low-Resolution Works: Motion and Rest Series


Custom electronics sample every 20th pixel of a pre-recorded 640 x 480 digital video clip.  The sampled pixels are assigned to a 32-column x 24-row grid of LEDs (totaling 768 LEDs) 

This series depicts disabled individuals as they walk. Campbell reduced the information to the point that only the gait remains intelligible—only the movement, no other factor of the individual’s appearance, remains expressively meaningful.

Mirror No. 5 (2001) by Daniel Rozin
Total Running Time: 1 min. 12 seconds
from Software Mirrors Series





Rozin's Software Mirrors redefine the building blocks of his animated digital images. His pixels have a more complex characteristic. In Mirror No. 5 they are pacman-like figures driven to get across the screen. While in motion, and viewed closeup, they spin and chomp. But step back and you can crudely see yourself along with anyting else taht happens to be in front of tFYALEhe camera.
